The more I think about it, the more I’m kind of surprised that they are leaning so much into the Fox X-Men in marketing.

Not only that, but the roster that they’re using. The average MCU movie-goer is going to either be like “Wow, I haven’t seen these guys in 15 years!” Or “Where the f*** did they come from ?”

But I guess that’s what the actual movie is for, lol

In terms of the roster, the below would have fed families:

Cyclops
Beast
Storm
Nightcrawler
Wolverine

Prof X
Magneto

Steve Rogers in combat pose without the shield just looks wrong man

This poster is so, so bad

I’ve got a new theory about Secret Wars that’s gonna shake the bus. Fasten your seatbelts we’re going down the hill:

There will be a “snap” motif throughout the Secret Wars film. The Infinity gauntlet snap is a key thematic reference in Secret Wars, and the infinity gauntlet snap is arguably even more important to the MCU than the 616 comics counterpart

I’ve touched on the symbology of the infinity gauntlet snap in regards to the defeat of Doom in Secret Wars, but this theory takes that even deeper. When you add the significance of Tony in the MCU to Doom, as well as Endgame as the predecessor to the next two Avengers stories, the snap has a clear position of prevalence

For context, the bottom panel is Doom snapping in a cocky “I am inevitable” way as a dig to Thanos using the Infinity Gauntlet after ripping out his spine. With Tony being connected to Doom in the MCU and the relationship between Tony and Thanos in the MCU, this Doom moment would have extra significance if adapted

In simple words tho, we’re gonna see the snap referenced multiple times throughout Secret Wars and it’s gonna be symbolic to the characters thematically. Remember the next two Avengers films are direct sequels to Endgame

Like Doom vs Thanos is already a main plot point in Secret Wars (which is why it irks me when fans wanna see the moment adapted with no context). You think Marvel won’t adapt that in the form of RDJ vs Josh Brolin part 3 with a multiverse reskin? Come on now…we’re getting Doom vs Thanos as a running plot in Secret Wars

Kinda hilarious that they’re still playing Endgame Encore without the Imax/Infinity Versions

Can still rewatch i guess but you’re missing the good bonus content

Absolute nasty work by Disney/Marvel to gatekeep the new footage like that
There was some backlash from moviegoers who watched the regular version finding out after the fact that they didn’t get to see all the bonus footage

Jimmy thinking about how he’s gonna get his lick back

Lowkey everything I’m seeing from this set piece is killing any hype i have for the film lol

Andy Park somewhere on linkedin laughing his ass off at that poster

He better worry about Secret Wars
and I think he’s such a madman he can craft a $4.5 billion grossing film given Secret Wars is guaranteed $4 billion atp

Avatar was cheating anyway them china numbers just inflating

He can do it but please no avatar

Bow down to the GOAT Jimmy

they announced he was DOOM early then did absolutely nothing with it in the rollout to justify announcing it early and people would have been selling out shows regardless

how would they try and save a dying franchise then

Drop Spiderman?

lol all the other actors returning still hype and the mystery of not knowing who doom was going into it would hit. could even do a fake out with iron man flashbacks in trailer so reason for RDJ to be on press tour

Don’t agree with that take

Let the people know he’s playing Doom so they can have enough time to process RDJ’s return rather than have them be shocked & have immediate mixed/negative feelings about the casting while watching the movie.

Something this big would’ve leaked anyway (before & after the movie releases).

I got more mixed and negative feelings about it now as I have had for multiple years than i would being surprised

Just rewatched The Marvels. Reception aside, how the f*** is it not on the Countdown to Doomsday list on Disney+?

The movie literally ends with an incursion and Monica in the X-Men universe.

Like if anything this is the first 616 set movie to introduce the X-Men setup for Doomsday

Its time?

Someone mentioned trailer this Friday. Could be a trailer snd then this preview

Jonathan Hickman is consulting on Doomsday and Secret Wars? Ts might really bang
